He assumed his duties with purpose yet with humility. Furthermore, he stimulated the faculty and students to enhance their potenti- alities for individual usefulness. Here is one leader who had deep insight in educational matters. Mr. Matthew M. Alcorn, the assistant principal received his master degree from the University of Pittsburgh. His intelligent and disciplined leadership was combined with gentle persuasive- ness in the rehabilitation of students who needed it. After hearing the emo- tional outbursts, frustrations, and com- plaints of such persons, Mr. Alcorn showed them the worth and dignity of a human being. Dr. Arthur C. Kelley is director of secondary education. His chief qualities are his good nature, understanding and sincerity. His goal was to set up courses of study to fully train minds.

RTR. ROBERT BEATTY IVIRS. CATHERINE BERG MR. JAMES GOLDEN Guidance Director Dean of Girls Home ViSifOI' Mr. Beatty gave Tom Beacon advice about coll.-ge cntranrw- exams. Olfllflfie 0lf'5 This three-some with Mr. James Mewhirter was certainly not an apa- thetic or indifferent group concerning the Welfare of students. Their services were in demand any time of the day when a student might have his personal or school problem cleared in order that his future days might be more under- standable and meaningful. Mr. Robert Beatty, an extremely pa- tient person, spent many hours giving advice to college-bound students or to new students making schedule adjust- ments. Then there were Mrs. Berg and Mr. Mewhirter who helped individuals search for understanding about the requirements, opportunities, advantages, or disadvantages found in any given Held. Also in his quiet yet pleasant way, Mr. James Golden, the home visi- tor, provided for students and parents alike accurate and well-balanced infor- mation concerning the state's attend- ance laws. All of these counselors were here to help you become better adjusted and useful members of society.
